THE STRANGE AND PREVAILING DISEASE OF THIS COUNTRY.

Like a thief at night, it steals in upon us unawares. Many persons have pains alniiit tlx* chest and sides, and sometimes in the kick. They feel dull and sleepy ; the mouth has a had taste, especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach ; sometimes a faint all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet he-come cold and feel clammy. After a w liile a cough sets in, at first dry, )nit after a few months it is attended with a greenish coloured expectoration The alllicted one feels tired all the while, and sleep does mt seem to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable, and gloomy, and has evil forbodings There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive ; the skin is dry and hotattimfes ; the blood becomes thick and stagnant, the whites of the eyes Income with yellow, the urine is scanty and high-coloured, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweetish taste ; this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes impaired, with spots ltefore the eyes ; there is a feeling of great prostration anil weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn preser.t. It is thought that nearly one-third of our population has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that medical men have mistaken the nature of this disease. Some have treated it for livei complaint, some for dysjiepsia, others for kidney disease, 4c., &c\, but none of the various kinds of trea tin nit have been attended with success. It is foun 1, however, that Seigel's Curative Syiup will effect a jierfect cure in every case. This article can be obtained from all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world, and from the proprietors, A. J. White (Limited), 17, Farriiiydoii Road, London ; or the wholesale agents, Kempthorne, Prosser & Co., New Zealand Drug Co. (Limited) Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland. "Spanish Town, Jamaica, West Indies, " Dear Sir, —1 write to inform you that I have derived great benefit from 'Seigel's Syrup.' b'or some years I have suffered from liver complaint, with its many and varied concomitant evils, so that my life was a perpetual misery. Twelve months ago I was induced to try Seigel's Syrup, and although rather sceptical, having tried so many reputed and infallible remedies, I determined to give it a fair trial. In t/o or three days I felt considerably better, and now at the end of twelve months (having contir .ted taking it) I am glad to say that lam a different l>eiug altogether. It is said of certain pens that they k come as a boon and a blessing to meu ' and I have no reasou to doubt the truthfulness of the statement. I can truly «ay, however, that Seigel's Syrup lias come as a 'boou and a blessing' to me. I have recommended it to several fellow-sufferers from this distressing complaint, and their testimony is quite in accordance with my own. Gratitude for tl.e benefit I have derived from this excellent preparation, prompts uie to furnish you with this unsolicited testimonial. _-I "Mil, Pear Sir, (Signed) "Carey B. Berry,
